Lens-Artists Challenge #269: On the Edge – Ritva Sillanmäki Photography

Patti wants us to explore “the edges.”

What have you captured “On the Edge” of buildings, cliffs, rivers, beaches, tables, shelves, your finger, or your dinner plate? Feel free to use any kind of edge you can think of. You can also take the theme sideways…veering off into another meaning of “on the edge.” Think of “unconventional” or “edgy” or “avant garde.”

Lets go back and think about this, I was never afraid to be on the edge until recently as I’ve developed some balance problems, I don’t trust myself not to fall. And I have lived on the edge in many of my decisions, like moving to another country on a whim… no more about that.

Patti’s images are are beautiful, check them out be inspired.

This swimmer is certainly On the edge of the cliff

I was looking at Janet’s post and this came to mind. Kid’s, grandkids – there is a difference how treat them, I knew what my kid’s were able to do, I trusted their skills. I certainly was not on the edge with them as I am with my son’s boy’s. I know they are very active and sporty boys, but as my youngest grand kid was on that edge I was so anxious that he would fall down. My son, not so much 🙂

This is from Australia, taken from the twelve apostles. I was more than once on the edge when I took these photos.

This is from last night, I saw Patti’s post and same time I was watching soccer with my husband and enjoying a glass of wine and the players came on the edge of my glass. ( I have to say it took many, many shot to get them right on the edge.) Not much of a picture, but I had fun with it.
